Paterson, N. J. - I thank you forl the Lydia E. Pinkham remedies as they have made me well and healthy. Some-` `q time ago I felt so ` run down, had pains in my back and side, V was very irregular, tired, nervous, had such b ad dreams, did not feel like eat- ing and had short breath. I read your advertisement in V the newspapers and decided to try a bottle of Lydia E.Pink- ham s Vegetable Compound. It worked from the rst bottle, so I took a second and a third, also a bottle of Lydia E-. Pinl s Blood Purier, and now I am just as well as any other woman. I ad- vise every woman, single or married, who is troubled with any of the afore- said ailments, to try your wonderful Vegetable Compound and Blood Purier and I am sure they will help her to get rid of her troubles as they did me."-- Mrs. ELSIE J.
